PASTlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,836, dated October 21, 1884. Application filed October 5, 1883. (No model.)

To all. whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADDISON KINGSBURY, of South Coventry, Tolland county, Connectiout, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pasting-Machines, which improvements are fully set forth and described in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My improvements relate to a machine for automatically pasting or gluing one side of continuous strips of paper as used, chiefly, by paperbox manufiicturers, my immediate object being to produce amachine which shall be simple, durable, easily operated, and quickly adjusted.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out inthe claims. I

My device may be located either on or under a suitable table, a convenient form being shown in Figure 1, in which the gluing mechanismis placed under the table proper, out of the'way, the paper, after having been glued, being delivered on the top of saidtable.

Fig. 1 is aside elevation of my device with the flange C removed. Fig. 2 is a detached view (side and top) ofthe removable flange provided to keep the roll of paper in place on the shaft d. Fig. 3 is a sideelevation, somewhat enlarged, of the hand-shears 7 used to cut the glued paper into any desired length. Fig. 4 is a top viewof the arms which support my friction rolls,illustrating the method of springing said arms sidewise to remove the rolls. r

A represents a tabletop, supported by suitable legs, B B, a second table or shelf being supported by said legs underneath table A to receive my gluing device.

D represents lnyglue-pan, which is supported by lamps E E, said lamps being provided to keep the glue at a uniform degree of heat, so that it may flow freely.

At F is a standard arranged to support in suitable bearings iny gluing-roll G, the lower side of which runs in the heated glue, the paper passing across its upper side and rotating said roll by friction, the paper as it travels being held firmly down on glue-roll G by friction-rolls w w.

In the act of adjusting a new roll of paper or in cleaning up the machine it often becomes necessary to remove these friction-rolls w w,- and in order that no time shall be lost I provide as bearings for said rolls arms a 6. attached to standard F, and made of thin sheet metal of strength sufficient to support said rolls properly, but having lateral spring enough to allow the rolls to be removed, as shown in Fig. l. The roll of paper 9 is held, not directly, on the rigid shaft (Z, but on an in termediate thimble or collar, 0, which turns with the paper on the fixed shaft. This I-find necessary, as without it the inner end of the coil of paper is inclined to wind around the shaft and soon stops the paper.

To support the roll of paper in proper position, I have provided flanges I I, made, preferably, of wood, with metallic bushings t, flange I being fixed rigidly to shaft d and flange I fitting loosely on said shaft, adapted to be adjusted to different widths of paper and held in place by a suitable thumb-screw, 71. As the paper is drawn forward with an intermittent or irregular movement, it becomes necessary to provide a check to arrest the rotary motion of said roll, so that the paper shall at all times remain taut on the several other rolls. I find a convenient and cheap device for this purpose in the weighted lever-arm J, supported by the bracket 76, and resting at its outer orfree end directly on the roll of paper. The paper. as it leaves roll g, passes under frietion-roll 10, over glue-roll G, and under friction-roll 10. It now passes upward over a wire, (in bracket 02,) said wire scraping off the surplus glue, which drips back into pan D. The paper is now conducted around pulley IWI and along the table-top to the operator, whosits or stands in the open space between the gluemachine table and the traveling endless apron It, which delivers the glued pieces to the boxcoverers. Thus it will be seen that the glued side of the paper touches nothing but the scraper after leaving the glueroll G, but is turned bottom (or glue side) up by the reversing-roll M and brought to the operator clean and whole.

'In my new form of machine one girl or boy operates said machine, cutting strips for five or six coverers, working as follows: Taking hold of the end of the strip 8, the operator draws it forward through the bench-shears T, having, it' necessary, a gage or guide to bring all the pieces cut to a uniform 1ength. She now cuts it oft and places it on the slowly-moving apron It, along the sides of which are sitting the several coverers. who, as said pieces are brought to them, remove them from the apron and apply them to the boxes.

If preterred, the apron R may be dispensed with and the cut pieces he placed on a table Within easy reach of the coverers.

Having thus described my invention, I elai in as new and Wish to secure by Letters Patcut- 1. The combination, with the pan 1), the standard F, having r011 G, and provided with pivoted arms a 12, carrying the friction-rollers l w in, of the shaft (Z, collar c, and flanges I 1, 1 the former rigidly secured to the collar, the l latter adjustable thereon by means of the thumbscrew 71, substantially as specified.

The ()OlIlbiniltiOD, with the pan D, the standard F, having the roller G, and pivoted. arms a b, carrying the friction-rollers w w, of the shaft d, lhimhle c, rigid flange I, adjustable tlange I, bracket or, and the reversing roll M, as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination, with the thinible c, gluing" device G D to w a, and reversing-r01l M, of the bench-shears 1, located at the deliveryend of thetable, as and for the purposes set forth.

ADDISON KINGSBURY.
